Kundalini yoga is the most modern kind of yoga that is suitable for people who have never done anything. One famous yogi said that if the main thing in yoga was stretching , then the best yogists in the world would become circus gymnasts. Kundalini is the diamond of the yoga, perfected for centuries, each facet of which is a separate yogic teaching.
Kunadilini yoga and Maya Fiennes are very original. In its modification, the training has turned into the most real rituals for opening the chakras, as in one lesson you will work out the body, breathing, and even sing mantras. Coach Maya Fiennes "decorated" her kundalini yoga classes with author's music.
Maya Fiennes
Maya Fiennes is once a pianist, who has become by far the most sought-after yoga coach in Europe and America. Where did the thorny path of this Macedonian woman begin? From London and the piano. Maya moved to the United Kingdom to finish her studies and soon began to give concerts for the UN and even for the royal family. It would seem that the future is defined, and to expect the best, and it is not worth it, because even the debut album of the pianist sold well. But in the same London, Maya began to take kriya yoga lessons from Shiv Charan Singh, and after many years of training, she decided to become a coach herself. Her new yogic name is Har Bhajan.
Music and Yoga
She began her yoga career with MayaSpace and Mantra Mood. All this music combines fusion and mantra yoga (yoga of sound). It is simply impossible to remain and not to sing.
Name and destiny
Maya Fiennes realized that she and kundalini yoga are inseparable, and teaching, popularizing and revealing to people the beauty of yoga and spiritual development and growth is her destiny. The very yogic name of Maya "Har Bhajan" means carrying the yoga world, glorifying God through mantras and sounds.
In her classes, Maya uses her own live mantra, but the studio space is not enough for her, soon after, Fiennes releases a series of classes on DVD - "Detoxification and relief from stress", as well as "7 chakras through kundalini yoga." Especially popular is the last program, because it consists of 7 disks - one for each chakra. Over each chakra should work 40 days. About the chakras in detail later.
7 chakras
On our body, according to Ayurveda, there are seven chakras, or energy centers. Each of them is responsible for certain qualities, the work of the organs of internal secretion. Maya Fiennes invites us to normalize the work of the "problematic" chakra with the help of kundalini yoga exercises.
1 chakra - is located between the urethra and the anal opening. This chakra is responsible for the ability to survive under any circumstances, it connects us to the earth, gives us endurance and strength.
2 chakra is the center of love, pleasure, joy, sexual energy. It is located between the navel and the top of the pubis, in most oriental martial arts and dances it is called the physical center (roughly speaking, the middle) of a person.
3 chakra is the chakra of stereotypes, will power, values and life credo. It connects the lower and upper chakras in the solar plexus.
4 chakra is the heart chakra. It gives us unity with the world and promotes compromises.
5 chakra is the chakra of creativity. Located in the middle of the throat, responsible for enthusiasm, creativity, inspiration.
6 chakra - the so-called "third eye". Chakra is located on the forehead, between the eyebrows. It is he who gives the opportunity to go beyond the boundaries of the human, gives illumination and connection with the higher world.
The 7th chakra is the center for receiving cosmic energy, located in the parietal zone.
Knowing which chakra is failing will give you the opportunity to choose exactly the program that will help you get rid of the energy stagnation in the body and reveal all your potentials.
